Wu Xuantian and Shi Hao carefully probed their surroundings. The Black Progenitor had indeed died completely; even the Plateau could not resurrect him.
Both had also paid a price in their Sacrificial Dao essence. There was no alternative. To shatter the Plateau's mighty power, they had to sacrifice something.
That place was the ultimate source, the ancestral home of the Eerie Clan. Naturally, it was extraordinary.
